Football in General Reviews

International Football. A very personal view. I'm sure I reach you at a time of sadness, still disappointed by the result and performance in losing to Brazil this week. However, I urge you all to take a step back, and to reflect upon what is really important in the world of football. The bread and butter of football is ...

What! Aefra writing an op on football? We all know by her comments what's coming. Well folks, you are wrong. This is not an anti-football/ World Cup rant. So there! Have I ever actually seen a football game? Yes I have. Have I actually enjoyed a football game? Yes. Lots. I have happy memories as a pigtailed 11 year old watching ...

Heres my review of the Premiership season just gone, an analysis of each teams performance, mentions for top performers, strengths and weaknesses and my opinion on the immediate future for each club. 1.ARSENAL Arsenal's consistency more than anything else won them the title, they were unbeaten away and scored in every single match ...

I think its about time that we all take a step back and realise that no one should ever get paid millions for playing a game!!! Just think about it………………… .....Football was invented as a game, like tiddley winks or scrabble it was invented to entertain those who played and in some cases ...

Some of you may have already read my opinion on the best team in the world at present, but here I am going to select my best team of all-time. Again, a lot of you may not agree with me, but that's the whole point of these fantasy football teams, isn't it? We're not meant to agree on them, otherwise they would be no fun, would they? ...

What is the point of 11 men (or women) running about a field chasing an inflated leather bag? The point is that it builds team working skills, personal acheivements in football are a good stress reliever and make you feel good. Now I have your attention I can voice my opinion on the evil of evils, THE GOLDEN GOAL RULE. ...

So here we are in the birth of spring and the run in to all the major football competitions in Europe.I have explained my thoughts on who is going to lift the Premiership trophy so I will use this catorgorie to predict the Champions League winners. The draw as last year was rigged under spurious rules so any country getting two teams through ...

This weekend I spent nearly 7 hours playing football and it inspired me to write this op. Why you should never be bored when you have a football. Even people who normally don’t do much sport usually won’t say no to a game of football over the weekend (okay so this is mainly males but never mind). A full match (or as close as you ...

Frank swift (goalkeeper) Frank swift is truly one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time he was a giant of a man with huge hands (12 inch span) who could pick up the ball with one hand he was one of the pioneers of the goalkeeper picking up the ball throwing it past the halfway line and setting up the strikers he helped city win the ...

It is common knowledge that this year's Premiership race is the closest in years. For once Man U have been inconsistant and only a couple of points separate the top four. However they still remain favourites with the bookies closely followed by Arsenal. The Gunners have been in blistering form this season to date, and with Henry, Pires and ...

The Wembley Project has hardly been out of the news over the past few months! Anyone who reads the small snippets of news that decorate the broadsheets will have seen a small paragraph periodically updating us on the events surrounding what has to be described as a rather typical ministerial mess! Where is Wembley?? As the British ...

............ON MY TIME MACHINE! Manchester United have an archive of infamous football matches behind them, I’d like you to join me in my time travel experience and take a look back at ten of the best! ALL ABOARD!!!!!

After so many years in the doldrums the fortunes of two of the region's biggest clubs are brighter than they have been for a long time.After yet another exciting season of First Division football both Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion are handily placed to achieve their dreams of reaching the Premiership. Wolverhampton ...

For all non-footie fans this is a clarion call to persuade all of you guys and gals to join up to one of the biggest (legal) addictions in the world. My argument to persuade you is to outline a typical Saturday on match day. Before I start, here’s a brief history of the game to set the scene. Bear with me, it does get better (ish). ...

Since the arrival of Swede Sven Goran Eriksson recently the England football team have prospered. From staring playoffs in the face, he transformed us into a world class unit, capable of beating 5-1 on their own soil.

After a glorious and stunning career as England’s number 1 striker and captain, Alan Shearer retired from his international duties. He was however to stay at Newcastle United under the leadership skills of manager Bobby Robson. This was a sad loss for one of English sporting legends. After steering us through to the semi-finals of Euro ...

Okay, I made a bold statement in the title of this op. Not only can we solve the offside rule problems once and for all, but we can also resolve all arguments about whether a ball has crossed the line or not. More and more in the modern game the Referee is coming under scrutiny and ultimately criticism for the spur of the moment decisions ...

I intend to give a different outlook to football teams here on Dooyoo. Yes, the opinions will still be about the club but, Dooyoo is a consumer site.
